About This Automation

Payment and deposit tracking involves matching incoming payments to open invoices, verifying partial payments, and reconciling totals against bank and processor records. Done by hand, this work is repetitive, error prone, and creates delays in confirming which invoices are actually paid.

An automated version matches deposits to invoices, traces partial payments, and flags anything unclear for review. The result is faster reconciliation, fewer unmatched deposits, and clearer visibility into cash flow.

Key features
Matches incoming deposits to open invoices automatically using amount and reference data.
Traces partial and split payments across multiple transactions without manual tracing.
Cross-checks settlement details against payment processor records to confirm fees and refunds.
Flags unmatched deposits for follow-up and notifies the team automatically.
Updates invoice status and cash flow records in real time.
Sends milestone payment alerts to relevant staff without manual pings.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Deposit Detectedtrigger

The bank feed flags a new incoming deposit as soon as it clears.

2. Match Payment To Invoice

The automation compares the deposit against open invoices using amount, reference text, and customer name to score a match.

3. Auto-Reconcile

High-confidence matches are marked paid and reconciled automatically with no human step.

4. Send Clarification Email

Low-confidence matches trigger an email to the customer asking which invoice the deposit covers.

5. Log Deposit

Every processed deposit, matched or pending, is written to the running cash flow tracker.

6. Notify Team

Milestone or large deposits post an alert to the finance and sales channel.

7. Weekly Unresolved Review

The bookkeeper reviews any deposit still unmatched after five days and closes it out manually.
